2024 NFL Draft prospect

On the live board, bust risk sits at 16% and the realistic range is No. 70 to No. 242.

Big Ten→ MIA's 2024 class
Limited public-board coverage (1 board) — grade leans on stats + athleticism alone
Backtest: model vs. reality
The model graded Tahj Washington at pick #144; he was actually picked #241 by MIA. 1 NFL season in, he's barely gotten on the field (grading -1.1 of 20 per season). So far, the league's caution is winning the argument. The 4-tier model has him as a likely starter. Model expects a second-deal AAV around $6M/yr.

Low conviction#144WR·USC
We had him No. 144 on draft night; MIA didn't call his name until No. 241 — a 97-pick gap between our board and the league's. His career is settling that argument now.
